I took the opportunity to pull out a very old & neglected stamp--no dies when I bought it, but so easy to fussy cut. The Paula Best sentiment stamp is also a fun oldie. I thought the bright stripes in the printed paper worked for a festive card with my Tim Holtz star dies. 
The paper is also embossed with a Cuttlebug star folder. Fun to also use an eyelet (remember them?!) & these little star embellishments I've had forever. Hope I've inspired you to put a tag on a masculine card & join the challenge! Thanks so much for taking time to stop by my blog.Edited to add: Entering Seize the Birthday without the option.
Edited to add: Also entering Retro Rubber to use ribbon or twine. Time is hard to keep track of, but the tag & the sentiment are older than 5 years--probably 10 or more. I bought the tag from a gal who worked with me & sold Close to my Heart & the sentiment was at a stamp convention.

ReplyDeleteI do remember eyelets! In fact I used some recently. Whenever I use them now I always squash them. I don't remember squashing them so much back in the day. I guess I need to not hammer so heavily! Love this card! The kraft paired with the happy stripes. It is a winner!
